Round 3 (36): Metal Gear Solid (PS1). Arguably the best PS1 game. The only MGS with a great, non-ridiculous, and non-convoluted storyline. A game so great, it spawned an entire genre.

Round 4 (37): Angry Birds (iOS). Simple perfection. The game with highest user base of all time. I preferred it before the in-app purchases (except the Mighty Eagle since that added an additional element) though.



MD, several selections on the first page need to declare a system.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - PS2, 2004

This is in my opinion the best Metal Gear installment. Sons of Liberty and the first one were great games, but as a young teenager the anticipation for this game in the lead up to its release was massive.

I remember this came out at right about the same time as GTA San Andreas, but unlike that game, this one I stayed up all night and beat the story mode in one sitting. That part in the jail cell with the fake Game Over screen was a total mindfuck.

Damn, I was hoping to snag this one in the later rounds. A really great game. This and the original Rogue Squadron games are top 5 SW games.

Jorge and Joey with my two favorite teams so far. Tree could have been in the running with his first two picks but things went downhill from there.

Yours is pretty good too. But I just never liked Goldeneye.

I feel like these teams will be made by these latter rounds. Pretty much every game taken in the first three rounds is objectively great.

Dual analog sticks have rendered Goldeneye nearly unplayable now. But man, what a game.
